Can one of you guys do me a favor? If you have your bill handy, could you post what Nstar is charging per kilowatt hour? I want to compare it with what LIPA is charging me. They've also been hitting us with a "fuel surcharge" since Katrina, even tho oil is cheaper now than right before Katrina.
LIPA is a public agency, supposedly a "not for profit" outfit. It turned into one of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on Long Islanders. A full quarter of their employees make over six figures a year  |

I guess they figure that the Oil companies can increase the price during the Peak Travel times why shouldn't they be able to do it during the peak Electricity usage time.....just in time for all of those Xmas lights

You guys think you have it bad, huh. Here is what we paid per month to a "not for profit" public agency, in October:
"Basic service", 17.9 cents per day for 31 days---$5.55
258KWH @ 12.41 cents per KWH--$32.22
1582 KWH @ 12.88 cents per KWH---$203.76
Fuel surcharge---$78.25
Delivery and supply subtotal--$319.78
Added charges:
PILOTS (whater the eff that is) $6.74
Suffolk County property tax adjustment--$6.42
Sales tax @ 2.5%---$8.32
Other costs subtotal---$21.48
Total bill---$341.26
But they do pre-pay the postage on the envelope you mail them the bill in, so knock 37 cents off that if you pay by mail 
Farkin' bastages. Like I said, the biggest scam ever perpetrated on Long Islanders |

Ouch. My best friend lives in Kings Park and I cannot believe what he pays for Real Estate taxes too.

Mike this was over the phone with a not too brilliant wife so if it's wrong - blame her 
NStar for Falmouth, MA
Supplier charge per Kwh $ .07132
Delivery: Distribution .04645
Transfer .02677
Transmission .00500
Renewable En. .00050
Conservation .00250
Plus there is a $3.50 "customer charge"
Do ya think they could make this any more complicated?  |

Mirant.. owns Canal Power Plant, went bankrupt a year or so ago, made a deal with your town for long term reduction in RE tax as part of it.
Gonna check out Green Light Compact, will post when I know details, sounds like if you sign up, they lock you in for 90 days at 8.2 cents per KW hour....
still billed and serviced thru NSTAR, like they do for Mirant.
